My fellow Blog Followers.

I have neglected you, and I am sorry.

But, over the course of my absence, I can confirm that I did not. Resume. Relations. With. Carbs.

And I’m not lying.

Several major events have occurred:

First. People are starting to talk about me. In a good way. And to my face (whoa). Things like “you are really looking great, Corey” and “look at those guns, Corey” are flying around out there. It feels good to be noticed for positive changes.

Second. I have my workout program in its entirety. My upper body program, lower body/core program and my Energy System Training program.

My what?

Don’t worry about it. Just know that its 25 minutes of sweat and profanity inducing intervals.

The other two lifting programs are pretty intense too, each reduce me to spaghetti (you know, that feeling when your extremities feel like wet noodles? Yeah that). I EVEN got up at 5:30 one morning to workout. Okay I did it once, BUT, I did it, and I’ll be doing it again. Extenuating circumstance (read: excuses) kept me from doing it all last week but, I’m going after that 5:30 am wakeup for workout this week, fear not!

Overall, let me just say that in the one month I’ve been doing this, I feel like a completely different person. Its incredible the impact that food has on your life, good and bad. I have realized that for the past 26 years I’ve been living in a carb coma. And that has effected me in ways I never thought possible. And now that I’m slowly but surely detoxing my body from the effects of the 26 year coma, I can’t imagine going back. I can’t imagine waking up every day feeling like I didn’t sleep for a second. I can’t imagine stuffing my face full of a plate of pasta and feeling that hunger-hole in my stomach 5 minutes later. I can’t imagine the insulin crashes and stress binging. Ugh how disgusting that all made me feel.

And a long over-due shout out to all those supporters out there. All of you. Everyone that asks how I’m doing, everyone commenting on these posts, everyone with encouragement, thank you. Because if you weren’t checking in on me then, it would be a lot easier to not hold myself accountable. So, thanks. Again. Keep it coming!

AND I'll try to decrease the distance between posts. Sorry 'bout that :-)
